Landed cost is finally accurate

The implementation partner was excellent, which I think matters more than the badge. Rigorous data model that resists bad practice. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. If you are weighing it up, do the trial with your own data and you will see it.

What works

Rigorous data model that resists bad practice. Branch reporting comes out without a spreadsheet in between. Landed cost calculations are accurate including duty and clearing.

What does not

The interface is dense and training is a real line item.

The partner made the difference, not the software

Two years post go live and I would make the same decision. Financial controls and audit trail that satisfy group finance. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.

What works

Financial controls and audit trail that satisfy group finance. Branch reporting comes out without a spreadsheet in between. Traceability from raw material to finished goods is complete.

What does not

The interface is dense and training is a real line item.

Used for 1 to 2 years

Powerful, and it demands a specialist

The software is capable. Our implementation was mediocre and we are still paying for that. Rigorous data model that resists bad practice. Beyond that it is more ordinary than the marketing suggests. It sits squarely in the middle for us, useful but not something I would champion. Good value, with some real rough edges.

What works

Global partner network for multi country groups. Reporting is capable once configured.

What does not

Remote access needs a hosted desktop. Reporting requires a specialist to build.

The partner made the difference, not the software

We run four warehouses and two companies on this and the consolidation works. Fast analytics on large datasets through the HANA edition. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. Worth the migration effort, which is not something I say often.

What works

Global partner network for multi country groups. Multi warehouse transfers are visible and auditable. Branch reporting comes out without a spreadsheet in between.

What does not

The interface is dense and training is a real line item.

Stock and the ledger finally agree

We run four warehouses and two companies on this and the consolidation works. Financial controls and audit trail that satisfy group finance. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. There are irritations, and none of them are the kind that make you look elsewhere. If you are weighing it up, do the trial with your own data and you will see it.

What works

Financial controls and audit trail that satisfy group finance. Stock on hand matches the physical count for the first time in years. Branch reporting comes out without a spreadsheet in between.

What does not

Configuration changes need the partner rather than an internal administrator.

Traceability paid for itself in one audit

We run four warehouses and two companies on this and the consolidation works. Rigorous data model that resists bad practice. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. Two years in and nobody has suggested we look at alternatives.

What works

Global partner network for multi country groups. Branch reporting comes out without a spreadsheet in between. Consolidation across our companies takes days rather than weeks.

What does not

Implementation cost more than the licence, as expected but still painful.

The software is capable. Our implementation was mediocre and we are still paying for that. Financial controls and audit trail that satisfy group finance. Beyond that it is more ordinary than the marketing suggests. It sits squarely in the middle for us, useful but not something I would champion. Fine for our needs. Test it properly against your own requirements.

What works

Rigorous data model that resists bad practice. The partner network means help is available.

What does not

Remote access needs a hosted desktop. Version upgrades are projects rather than updates.
